I have problem with my TP2. Any app that's fullscreen - be it opera mini/mobile, any game, navigation, etc., after few seconds of going fullscreen the top taskbar appears. Sometimes it's as long as minute, but the taskbar always appear, covering the top part of the screen. Apps don't seem aware of this fact, and they render as normal, thus hiding behind the dreaded rectangle, also they slow down noticeably, even going to full stop for few seconds. Opening start menu fixes the problem, but after few seconds, the taskbar is back again. I thought it may be connected with a clock and redrawing it when the minute changes, but disabling it didn't help. Please help me with this, as it renders otherwise great device nearly useless.

I've had the update installed a few weeks now and I'm finding there's a definate delay when trying to open a program or changing to another screen, sometimes I may have album open then i check the calendar, and then try to go back to the home page and it freezes for a few seconds while it waits to catch up. When I start a new sms there's a delay while it brings up a new black sms screen, then I start typing the recipient and again there's a lag while the letters catch up with my typing.
I've tried clearing all running apps but i still get the lag a lot of the time.
Does anyone else get this ??
I think the manila version is still 2.1 as I don't have the extra shortcut icons on the today screen above the slider.
A solution (other than flashing a cooked rom) would be appreciated.
I've had this problem for a while, but I'm pretty much fed up with it to this point that I've decided to ask about it. I don't know if this is restricted to the TP2, but I'd imagine it's probably a Windows 6 problem more than the device.
The issue is that when I play any full screen application (one that covers the top and bottom menu bars), typically games, sometimes it loses it's status as the active window but still remains in front of everything else. This means that where ever I pres on the screen, it will select whatever is behind the game and therefore gives me no ability to select the game itself.
This is most prominent with the keyboard button in the bottom bar. It's not uncommon for me to have to press something on the edge of the screen in one of these applications only to have the keyboard pop up and garble all of the graphics. Once this occurs, there is no real easy way to go back. I have to open up task manager and either close the full screen app or activate it again. Another time this becomes a big issue is if I'm on the program tab of TF3D (which frequently you are after you've opened an app) and basically anywhere I press just starts opening applications left and right.
Does anyone know why this occurs and is there a fix for it?
Hi All,
One thing that has consistently irritated me about the new SenseUI is what I see as an inconsistent "Back" button in the contact app to exit the application! It goes completely against the general established way in winmo devices to exit an application. The general practice in the windows world to use the 'x' at the top to come out of an application. That is just plain intuitive when using a winmo device.
In the SenseUI contacts app, there is no 'X' at the top right corner !! why?? However bad and dated the UI is of windows is, going against the general UI rules of the OS makes using an app even more confusing and plain frustrating.. Especially for the contact app which is one of the more (if not most) heavily used app if not the most.
Also all the ROMs seem to continue that same philosophy.. why is that ??
Is it only me that sees this as inconsistent and counter intuitive ?

On my phone the 2nd HARDWARE button from the right goes back to the home screen.
Sorry I wasnt clear in my original post. I was talking about the soft buttons in the UI. The "back" button in the lower left corner of the contact application - the application where you can browse through your contacts.
The "back" button there goes back to the previous screen you were on. This becomes more of a problem when I have to go back to the home screen or some other screen after or during a call. for e.g. after a call, if I started the call from the contacts app, I am dropped back on the detail page of the contact . no wi have to click back twice or more time ( if I started from the call history page) to come back to the home screen..
This I think is a waste of time.. A simple 'x' button at the top should allow me to exit the application and come back to the home screen..

PS: All buttons I speak of are soft UI buttons and not the h/w buttons on the phone.
Hi all,
I've a Samsung SGS and I got the offical 2.2 update then rooted with z4root and installed OCLF. What a difference, the phone absolutely flies along.
Since then I've replaced the stock dialer with "Dialer One" which works really well (I tried aTAKEphONE but didn't like it), installed the Whatsapp IM client as a lot of my contacts have BlackBerry's and Whatsapp is a cross platform IM client and also installed the PhoneUseage app to keep track of my VF plan and not allow them to screw me each month for out of plan useage.
I now have two problems which I feel are related to installation of the above apps but have no way of proving it.
1. From time to time when I hit the "Home" icon the phone returns to the home screen but only displays the bottom four apps and it takes up to 20 seconds to refresh the home screens (I have a total of 5 home screens) with the other icons and widgets. This is a serious Lag which seems to be preceeded very briefly by the aplication I am exiting blowing up in size by a huge magnitude i.e. if I am running the Internet app and I hit the home screen for an instant the internet page I was looking at appears to zoom in to the maximum amount (literally a split second) then it switches to the main home screen with just the four bottom apps and then up to 20 seconds later the rest of the homescreen icons and widgets appear. During the 20 seconds the phone seems 'hung' but afterwards it flies along again. This only happens intermittently and not on exiting any one particular application as far as I can tell. Thoughts anyone?
2. I am unable to remove the missed calls notification from either the drop down notification area (when I tap on the notification it doesn't bring me to the missed calls list on Dialer One) and the same applies to the orange jigsaw notification if the phone is locked i.e. if I unlock by moving the orange jigsaw piece with the number of missed calls on it to the appropriate spot when I lock the screen again and go to unlock it I am still presented with the missed calls jigsaw. I suspect this has something to do with the notification actions looking for the stock dialer app whereas I'm running Dialer One but I'd appreciate your thougths if you've had a similar issue and how you resolved it. The only way I'm able to remove the missed calls notifications is by doing a battery pull which is a royal pain in the ass.
Lastly, I'd appreciate it if someone can tell me why certain apps show up in the list of apps displayed by the Automatic Task Killer app and others don't? Dialer One being a good example. I've installed the app and it's now my default dialer but it doesn't show up in the Automatic Task Killer list of apps, same with the Whatsapp IM app.
I look forward to getting your thoughts.

try replacing oclf with z4mod...
Well you do use apps that's mess with you system.
You don't need an other task killer.
I don't think its Oclf fault.
But you can always try a custom kernel and a better lagfix.

Hey guys,
On my OGP, I have noticed that once I press the side button to unlock the screen, the touch keys light up instantly but the actual screen takes 1-2 seconds to light up after the button press. It may have gotten worse over time, or that may just be me being paranoid. Also, in messaging settings I experimented with messaging skins, and those seemed to lag my messages a lot (like when I clicked on a conversation, it took 2-3 seconds for the conversation to load, whereas before it was instant). When I removed the skin and went back to the default one, the lag still persisted. If anyone knows how to fix these issues, I would be grateful! My device is stock unrooted with value pack update, US AT&T. Only settings I changed was turned on quad core optimization.
Thanks,
killer
Fixed the lock screen lag by removing my dewdrop screen animation. Leaving it at basic drastically increased speeds to easily under a second. Now for the messaging lag...
